Egyptian Handball Federation head gets one-year suspension

The International Handball Federation (IHF) has suspended Egyptian Handball Federation head Hesham Nasr from his position for one year, the organization decided during a meeting last week, state newspaper Ahram Gate reports. The suspension came as a result of Nasr entering and leaving the Egyptian handball team’s isolation area several times throughout the Men’s Handball World Championships held in Egypt last month, which organizers say put the team at risk of contracting covid-19 during a critical time.
